My church celebrates the Eucharist on the first Sunday of each month.
We also have a food collection the first Sunday of each month.
Seeing as how the early church conceived of Eucharist as a justice moment that fed the poor in the community, perhaps having people bring their donations forward to a basket as they come forward for communion would make that connection, bring justice back to the Eucharist, and encourage more donations, since the donation would be part of the ritual and not just something to put in a box in the Narthex on your way into church.
In fact, I think I might email my minister about this.
